A SpaceX rocket collision with the moon has been confirmed by scientists. The impact occurred at a speed of 5,400 mph, although it was not directly observed. A telescope in Chile detected a debris plume, which astronomers believe was left by the crash.

Experts are certain that the collision took place, citing signs of the crash as evidence. Further details about the incident are expected soon, including images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which will fly over the area in about a week and send back photos.
